Conventions of a Music video

This is a music video of the song 'patience' by Take That. i have used this song to look at the conventions of a music video because Take That are an all boy band and the actors i will be using in my video will also be a boy band. This music video uses a wide range of camera shots to fill the song, it mainly uses close ups and extreme close ups on the men when they're singing or playing an instrument. The video also contains an establishing shot at the start of the video to show the location the band is in. Tracking shots of the band walking are also used quite frequently in the video. In this video each of the men are wearing very similar clothes/outfits, this could be to show that they are part of a band or that they are all together, in my music video i will try to make sure all my band members are wearing very similar clothes to show that theyre together as a band.

This is a music video of the song 'what makes you beautiful' by One Direction. Again i have used an all boy band as the members of my band will be all boys. Like the other video there are a lot of close up shots of the boys when they are singing, and the shot also changes to the band member that is singing. There are again many tracking shots of the band as they walk along the beach singing and there are also a few slow motion shots. Again like the other video the band are all wearing quite similar clothes.

This song is 'You raise me up' by another boyband, Westlife. This song is quite an emotional one, looking at flashbacks and emotional moments in someones life so the whole song is in black and white which i think really captures the emotion of the song well. again because it is quite an emotional song there are alot of very slow tracking shots and slow motion shots, but as the song goes through and becomes more upbeat the shots become faster. Like the other videos there are always close ups of the band member singing or when an instrument is being played. Again like the other videos, the band members are all wearing very similar clothes to represent their band and the song.
